In this scenario, the Grizzlies send Ja Morant, Scottie Pippen Jr., the #16 pick, the #32 pick, and next year's Utah FRP to the Kings for Deandre Hunter, Demar Derozan and the #7 pick.

The idea is that the Kings were in conversations to aquire Ja last trade deadline, but wanted a pick attached to him to take on his contract. So, the Grizzlies give them a future first, SPJ, and take on bad money in Demar and Deandre to trade up in the draft and select their future starting PG.

I think the Kings find it interesting because they likely aren't getting a star player on the 7th pick, but there is a chance that Ja goes back to all star form and forms an interesting trio with Sabonis and Lavine.

Excluding Kenjaku and Gojo, of course, if every sorcerer in Shibuya jumped Mahoraga, could they beat him?

Ja Morant's time in Memphis is pretty much over. I think the Suns would be the best scenario for him. Playing alongside a star in Devin Booker and his old teammate Dillon Brooks could get him back on track.

Memphis could do well giving Jalen Green a chance in an environment where player development will be the focus.

You might say that no one would give a first for Ja, but that pick is the worst between Utah, Cleveland and Minnesota. It's gonna be in the low 20s. And you also have to consider that the Jalen Green contract is still pretty bad.
